Martellus Bennett: Tony Romo ‘isn’t in the same league as Eli Manning’; ‘Not even close’

After not catching a single touchdown pass the previous three seasons with the Cowboys, Martellus Bennett has snagged three in three games with the New York Giants.

Because of Jason Witten, it’s unlikely that Bennett was ever going to be the primary pass-catching tight end in Dallas.

But according to the outspoken Texas A&M product, his lack of production could have something to do with the quarterback. Apparently, Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo isn’t on the same elite level as Giants quarterback Eli Manning.

“Romo isn’t in the same league as Eli Manning. Not even close,” Bennett was overheard saying at a New York restaurant.

Bennett is probably just bitter about underperforming with the Cowboys, something that had little to do with Romo and more to do with Bennett dropping passes. On the other hand, it needs to be pointed out that Manning has two Super Bowl rings.
